Get out?! Fighting nursing staff? That definitely needs to be reported to hospital admin. You are there to heal, very rude and stress enducing for them to do that in earshot of patients! You will feel better once your settled in back home. Every day I feel better, except for a minor setback returning to work too soon this past Monday. Resting again until returning next Monday. But I'm not hungry and pain is manageable -I also had hernia repair which is causing me the most discomfort. Good luck!

I am also post day3. Pain is manageable, but the gurgling is driving me mad! LOL I also had a hiatal hernia repair and seems to be what is most uncomfortable.

Yeah, the darn hernia! I actually have 3 hernias in total, he could only repair the hiatal during sleeve. Fun-I get to have the 2 others repaired after I lose 100 pounds-can't wait!  I'm thankful though that we discovered all these hernias-I would move a certain way and feel something pull, spasm, etc. -painful yet momentary. I just thought these pains now and then was due to my bad back and weak core! I wish I hadnt had the hernia repair-I think I would be feeling so much better than I do now. Aggravating my stomach muscles by returning to work to soon on Monday set me back. Taking vicodin again when I was on Tylenol! Oh well, it is what it is! My advice to anyone else would be, one procedure at a time! I feel like such a failure going back to work for one day, and now I'm back on pain meds! As Winnie the Pooh says, "Oh bother!!"

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
